Kedra entered Sar'gen's tent.

- We need to talk, - she was serious.

Sar'gen nodded.

- You knew about Vulal and Effil aren't you? You were doing matchmaking here. You never told us about Segro but I am guessing that in past life somebody else married Effil.

Sar'gen knew that Kedra would discover the truth, she was the smartest.

-Why you are thinking that?

- I just checked the Segro's  army state, they have nothing to fight with. King Feser is a wise man who loved his daughter enormously, he would want to protect her and his country at any cost. I cannot see any other options for the Segro kingdom except political marriage. I am correct? What happened last time?

- Kedra, why you are asking about it? the reason? Do you need truth just for the truth purpose or do you have something else you want to know?

- You kept something from us. I never thought you would hide anything. - Kedra was visibly upset. 

- It was important, I could not tell that in previous life Vulal and Effil loved each other but could not be together. It could affect Vulal's decision to marry Effil or his feelings. 

-Is there anything else you keep hiding? - demanded warrior women. 

-Yes. I had only two secrets. One in regards to Vulal and another one in regards to Solala.

Kedra stood up from the shock.

-Solala?

- Yes. 

- Did she meet her fated person at the end of her life as well? So everyone met somebody except me who died miserably at Almiral. Fucking Almiral...hate my life...-Kedra in frustration hit the pole so strongly that the tent almost collapsed. 

-Kedra...- started Sar'gen

-What? I just did not live long enough for you to see my future...- Kedra was angry and upset...- Who was a fated person for Solala? 

Sar'gen shook  his head.

-Kedra, this is not your secret to know or keep.

-Fuck you Sar'gen...fuck you...- Kedra furiously stormed out of the tent.

Kedra runs to Solala's tent after it. She  was very upset so she wanted to see Solala.

Solala was getting ready to sleep so her hair was down and armor removed. Without her usual battle armor and swords,  Solala looked unusual so Kedra stopped suddenly to look at her closely. They spend most of their time together but rarely see each other outside war tents or battlefields. 

Solala was a very tall warrior with a strong build. Same as Vulal, she wielded two big swords. Kedra had never seen Solala dating anyone before. These two giants had been dearly loved by their closest friends and family. However, they had no luck in love and everyone joked about it.

Solala looked unusual today. She was wearing a simple white shirt and tight brown leggings. Her blond hair was freshly washed and under candle light giving away a honey-colored shine.

-Kedra? - Solala who waited for Kedra to explain her late night visit.

-You are beautiful Sol...-started Kedra as she moved closer to Solala and touched her hair. This sudden intimacy moment struck both as Kedra felt warmth spreading within her body.

- Fated lover of Solala...- suddenly Kedra remembered the last conversation with Sar'gen and aggressively pulled Solala towards her.

--No way...I am not giving you to anyone...- declared Kedra as she kissed her friend. 

Solala went to see Sar'gen as soon as she woke up next to Kedra. She needed to talk to her brother about last night.

-Sar'gen have you told Kedra about me?

- Oh...- Sar'gen smiled to sister...-Something good happened last night?

-You promised not to tell her, - Solala rarely raised her voice but this time she was upset and angry at the same time.

-You promised...

- Calm down Solala, I did not tell her anything...

Solala started crying

-Oh sis...don't cry...-Sar'gen hugged his older sister gently, patting her back.

-Just tell her the truth. It would solve everything.

-No it would not. She never liked me. You know better than everyone that she never wanted me previously. 

Now Sar'gen regretted  keeping this secret. It was his second secret that he decided to keep from his friends when he came back.

Solala approached him the next day to ask if he knew whom she loved in the previous life and Sar'gen could not lie about it. His sister all her life loved only one person, only one that she was devoted to till her last breath...her friend and comrade...Kedra.

When Kedra died at the Almiral, Solala could not fight anymore, she retired from the battlefield and lived the rest of her life like a shadow.

Sar'gen breathed a long sigh...it was another sad love story, that he wanted to fix. However, Solala demanded that he would not tell Kedra anything. Sar'gen tried to resist...Solala never told about her feelings in the previous life but in this life, he believed she should make it clear to Kedra.

In previous life, Kedra was a player, she had a lot of lovers and was always open to new adventures. She never cared much about feeling so her relationships usually would not last long. Especially Kedra liked cute little ones so tall Solala never had a chance.

However in this life, Kedra was different, he was not sure if maybe news about her dying without family changed her views or anything else.

It was impossible to predict what would happen if Kedra did not die at Almiral. Sar'gen decided to try a different approach. He wanted his sister to be happy, so he tried to persuade her to confess, and after she completely rejected this idea, he moved all his focus to Kedra. His plan was simple - he wanted to check what Kedra would do if Solala found herself a partner.

-You love me, baby? - Kedra appeared suddenly behind Solala's back. She was beaming with happiness.

-Oh...-Solala blinked in shock not sure what to do.

-Sol, my baby, I love you too. - Kedra pushed Sar'gen away and hugged Solala.

-No, you are not serious, it cannot be. - Solala tried to avoid Kedra without any success. 

-No baby, you are mine and I am not giving you to anyone. 

Sar'gen smiled happily, so the cat was out of the bag now. He sneakily left the scene, leaving Solala and Kedra to sort out their feelings.

+++

Sar'gen was holding a newborn baby boy in his arms. The first-born son of Vulal and Effil, Armak was a beautiful healthy baby with big blue eyes and blond hair like his father.

-He is so so cute...- giggled next to Sar'gen Kedra and Solala.

- and so so big...- added Sar'gen as Armak took after his giant father.

-hahaha - Solala laughed at this comment.

- Hope that next child would be a girl pretty as Effil...- continued Sar'gen.

They were visiting Effil and Vulal in Segro. Vulal took a long break from his duties to be next to his wife and baby. He was worried as the baby was a bit big for a small Effil. However, everything went well, and Effil gave birth to Armak without complications. Asira's family loved children, so almost everyone from Asira came to congratulate Vulal and Effil and see new additions to their family.

Alkalala gave birth to 15 children, but opposite to everyone's expectations, not many of her children continued with this legacy. The birth of the nephew was a very merry occasion for everyone.

Sar'gen hoped that the future would look much brighter for his beautiful family, in his previous life only Jae'gen's children and Fos'gen's granddaughter Gamira left out of Asira before his restart. It was tragic.

Also, Kedra took the opportunity to announce her union with Solala. Asira had a lot to celebrate this time.

Jan'gen  and  Alkalala  were extremely happy parents, their twins found great partners.

They were leaving Segro, and Sar'gen was late.Masari impatiently looked around for his lover. While he turned the corner from the main hall, he heard Vulal's voice. Hoping to ask him, he hurried towards it but suddenly stopped from the shock.

- Have you told Masari about a fated lover? - Vulal asked

It was a conversation that Sar'gen did not want to have, but Vulal caught him just before their leave.

- Vulal... please

- You need to tell him Sar'gen now. It would be better.

-?

- Better he would hear it from you, I mean. - Vulal looked very worried. - Bro, I am a happy man, married to the best woman I love deeply. It is the most important thing now. Nothing else matters. I know that you think that we are fated to each other, but for me, this is not what makes me happy. Fated are not fated who cares?

You should live, as you lived only once. You are still considering all options, your previous life weighing you down. Have you not noticed it? You are living your only life now. Be happy with someone who loves you now. Fate is not what makes you happy.

Masari did not want to eavesdropping but he could not force himself to move.

-Sar'gen, are you going to check with Omonor about who is your fated lover?

Vulal continued as Sar'gen did not answer.

- What if Masari is not the one? Omonor said that you are fated to love only one person in your life.

Masari started running away like something was chasing after him. He could not see anything in front of him.

-Fated lover, only one and only... - keeps booming in his head. 

+++

Masari was very upset, he wanted to talk to somebody about it. His niece was too far away, and all his comrades were Sar'gen friends. He avoided Sar'gen for a few days now, which was unusual.

Sar'gen tried to talk to Masari but Masari found a way to dodge it. After a week of not understanding what was going on Sar'gen asked Kedra for help.

Kedra was always the bridge in their tight group. She would resolve the arguments and sort the issues. Usually, she would not want to be involved in the love quarrel of her friends, but Sar'gen begged her.

-Masari talk to me please. What is going on? Sar'gen is going crazy. I know it is his fault can you just forgive him?

Kedra  approached Masari who was sitting by the river.

-Kedra...mmm...Sar'gen sent you...oh...it is always you...hahaha, - he laughed bitterly.

Woman warrior moved closer to Masari and sat next to him.

-Masa talk to me, you know I could keep secrets. Remember I never told Sar'gen that you fall for him so badly. - Kedra bumped Masari' shoulder. 

-Hmmm...- Masari signed. He needed to talk to somebody as dark thoughts were clouding his brain.

-Kedra, do you believe in fate? - started Masari

- Fate? Of course, I believe in it. We are here again because it was fated, you know.

-No, I mean that you have a fated lover or something, - Masari turned his head, avoiding looking into Kedra's eyes.

-Oh...- Kedra realized instantly what is going on.

-You knew about the fated thing of Sar'gen. How? Oh... this is crazy...no it does not matter how. Omg, you are upset. Masari...- She hugged her friend.

- I was once told that Solala also had a fated lover, you know.

Masari looked surprised to hear this confession.

-Fated lover of Solala ?

-Yes, she is mine, so who cares about this fated lover thing? I would fight hundreds, thousands, and millions of fated lovers of hers. If need to, I would fight all my life and even after my death, but she would be only mine, and I would be only hers. That is my fate that I would die for. Fated lover hahaha, - Kedra jumped to her feet.- You are fucking the strongest, the bravest general in the world, fighting for your love. Sar'gen lived 200 years not meeting his fated lover, and now you are concerned about this useless thing.

Kedra pulled Masari to stand. She opened her arms and screamed. - We fight to live, we fight to protect, we fight to unify kingdoms, we fight to bring peace to everyone, we fight for happiness, we fight for love, we are warriors, we are changing fate.We are fighting against fate every second on the battlefields, fighting against our fate to die young. Fated are not fated who cares? Hahahhaha.
